Title Body

How do you pull changes from the parent of a fork in Git, specifically in a github configured project? For example, say I forked http://github.com/originaluser/originalproject into http://github.com/myuser/myproject . I don't plan on myproject on being a permanent fork, as I only want to maintain a "dev" branch to test some experimental features, and then eventually merge it back into the original project. As such, whenever commits are made to originalproject, I want to be able to pull them down and merge them with myproject. However, I also want to be able to push changes up into myproject, but not yet immediately create a pull request to get them merged into originalproject until my branch is complete and tested. What's the best way to do this? Edit: By default, when I create a local checkout/fork of my github fork for local development, and then push/pull changes up, these changes only effect my personal fork. I never get changes from the original project. How do I fix that? Sorry for any incorrect git terminology.
